    Sounds like a Nomi-style worktable bug. When there's too many people in Nomi's kitchen, his table bugs out. You click, nothing opens, and you see that his work order count has dropped, which means you "looted" it. After a while, the Postmaster sends you a mail with the content of the table...

    Everything quested shows up; item drops don't carry if you sold them (you'll have to farm them again, potentially from the BMAH).

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's a bit more than that, but not that much of a problem. You need: 500 OR per 5 days (AK research), 250-400 once or twice a day (missions). That's about the amount of OR you get from the daily emissary chests. If you do 4 WQ a day, you do get enough OR to sustain you in normal play. You need...

    That's not Dro's door we're talking about but the last door (the one after that) that locks the last corridor toward the exit. Normally it's clickable with 10 withered. Last run, it was totally inert. Not even a cursor gear.

    Had that one just two hours ago. Was fine on my previous run, two days ago. Ended up picking the AP and toy chest.

    It's been around since release. The area in Stormheim just before Hel is particularly prone to that.

    That's going to be very difficult, notably for Cata/Panda. You have major lore basically in every zone, but you're going to overlevel each zone by mid zone. For Cata, skip Vash'jir (which is irrelevant to the main storyline), do Hyjal, Deepholm and Uldum, and you have most of it. You're missing...

    When people list the cheapest Legion flask at 4k per, it's tempting to downscale.

    Eh, my Holy staff is now 875 while the main spec Shadow artifact is stuck at 871... I blame the game for giving only Holy, Life and Shadow WQ, and never a Blood one.

    Flying is currently not achievable, so it's not that important, but you need to do it at one point on at least one character. (I'm currently at 5/11 myself, since I have time)

    I had swum there, but he didn't pop for a while. The "watch out" seems to be when he aggroes; I get a "watch out" message every time as my Mind Control drops. They might have realized he's way too hard for a number of classes, and let people get max score before they try to get his key to go...

    I had lots of lag at first, but it subsided. Managed to skip Dro for a long time (he finally found me on the central room after I had cleared most of it). Used the Mind Control cheese, worked fine (he still killed 2 of my withered while I was redoing the MC after dots). Grabbed the Starcaller...

    Got TWO copies of rank 1 from today's Nomi "experiments". Along with one rank 1 Azshara Salad. Seems he was inspired for a change. So yes, it does pop.

    A class that basically drops from the sky (completed with smash effect) and jumps straight into Valhalla to talk to Odin for strategy is The Hulk Class.

    This is the first expansion where I've installed Pawn to get the correct evaluations for gear. For Shadow Priests, INT is the 4th best stat, behind haste, crit and mastery.

    Pulled out my shaman alt for the first time, and made him thru the elem artifact quest. I absolutely don't understand what you're supposed to use as a rotation. Their getter/spender system is beyond comprehension. (the icy vein page is absolutely hilarious, you have like 12 different priorities)

    That's why I'm trying to rush my alchemist asap. Food is ok (if only Nomi would give me the 350 stat recipe...). Runes are going to be mostly ignored for the first few weeks while we do lock the normal mode farm and used when we move to heroic; that leaves me time to level the monk (which is a...

    Yes; I ditched my harvester boon for tailoring, and am a lot more happy with that one. First time I went up from 0 after withering startup to 1200 mana before the leyline buff expired.

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Kirin Tor is the only rep I might not do on the same day. "The Magic of Flight" has the bubbles not always showing up correctly, which makes it horrible. The maze box is ok (my mid-50s memory is not shot yet), and the leyline racing is fun. Basically, reusing normal quest scripts and turning...

    Hatched a Lapras just right now, but mine is 20 (obviously) and 78% :( At least, I ditched the 55% level 10 one I had in the 'dex.

    Same here. The new daily format (WQ) is a lot better than previous systems. You open up your map (using addons, of course), try to figure out what targets are important, complete your daily bonus, and then, you may hit a dungeon or two. I'm even behind on Nightfallen quest line, because I've...

    Well, that's my problem: As a shadow priest, I don't have stun. The only suggestions I've seen for shadow priest is dot - MC until the dots fall off, re-dot, re-MC and so on until he dies. Will probably have to try that.

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Blizzard is entirely owned by Activision Blizzard, they don't have stock. And while Bobby may (or may not) leave, he's smart to have multiple revenue streams. So, yes, while Blizzard is important, they're not going to get shuttered anytime soon, even if WoW shrinks below 1M. And Activision is...

    Apparently, you can use any of the ingredients or base ingredients to trigger the recipe discovery. If you use Shanks, you can only discover recipes ranks 2 or 3 for shank, surf&turf or discover the salad. This place is a cakewalk for any tank spec once you have enough withered in your army...

    You will have to do them for the flying achievement anyway.

    Not so sure. I'm guessing that heroics are no longer a primary entry point, normal Mythics are. However, I could see them reducing the number of item WQ, given that your daily chest now has an item in it (albeit one that is absolutely random and not linked to your ilvl).

    My guess: they flipped the "boost people's chance for their first legendary" so that it triggered if you had one instead of if you had none.

    Some WQ reward epic gladiator rather than basic pvp. At rank 1, I've seen one quest with a 840 neck, while all others have base 810 (the pve quests all give 825+ based on my ilvl). It looks like those "high reward" quests appear at random. Same for dungeons, my first dungeon quest rewarded a...

    A Song of Ice and Fire - Book Spoilers Within

    The topic arose while discussing various books with friends last month, and I could make the joke "Well, Amazon just told me they're shipping the last Martin" "WHAT? IT'S OUT?!?" "Yes, he's got a book" (ok, that's mostly Snodgrass, he probably just did a few comments)

    Those quests are "breadcrumbs". You have them so you know there's "something" to be done. Otherwise, people who don't go to wowhead or any guide wouldn't guess that the various parts of the story unlock at various rep levels.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    At these energies, the gravity isn't much of a problem. Even though the beams can stay rotating for minutes until collision, the amount of energy required to keep them rotating far exceeds the amount of energy required to keep them afloat against gravity.

    This apparently makes them a counter to that spell component, which means they could act as "pseudo-champions", thus potentially freeing a champion for another mission. The 5% chance for water elementals still make them weaker than the other troops, so at best, that means expending 10...

    Yea, you look at what you'd like to get, do them. Most of the time, you do complete the daily factions over 3 days, so you get your boost toward flying. At the moment, I'm doing gear (on the off-chance it procs a massive titanforged+socket upgrade), profession, and then some Warden targets...

    9/11/2001 - Where were you when Bush knocked down the towers?

    Was at home, in between jobs. Left Nevrax prior, was waiting to hear about an internet startup. Loafing around in bathrobe, looking at internet stuff. Mail pops, "apparently, there's a fire in the twin towers, CNN is live". So, why not? Turn on CNN, see the fire with "accident at WT" title...

    They don't scale in that you're guaranteed an upgrade, they scale in making it more likely you could get an upgrade. Otherwise, even casual outdoor players would be 850 in no time... One dungeon WQ in particular was funny to watch, it was 805+ head when I opened WQ, the next day it was "Heroic"...
